Primary Care or Community Service Redesign Initiative

NHS Seacole Centre at Headley Court Surrey : Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals Trust

In response to COVID-19, Surrey Downs Health and Care (SDHC) developed a new community hospital in just a few weeks called the NHS Seacole Centre to manage additional demand.

A multi-disciplinary team from Epsom and St Helier Hospital (ESTH) planned and operationalised the facility. PPL supported this team to bring the vision for the centre to life through detailing the model of care, number of beds, workforce, governance and financial requirements. The PPL team detailed how to implement the vision for the centre, which continues to provide high-quality rehabilitation and community care for COVID-19 patients.
